Fair enough Fitz, but the offer will always be open to you

Here is another 250th F&IW picture from my collection. It was taken of the new monument, which was unveiled at Bushy Run's 250th Anniversary. Even though it technically was not part of the F&IW itself, the Indian War of 1763 is directly related to the previous war's outcome:

That is one place I haven't been yet. And another is Custologa. Any thoughts on the latter? |

Custaloga is a fun event; and Graham's Coy. alternates between that event and Cook's Forrest (since they are only a week apart) every year. Both Custaloga & Cook's have fun wilderness battles, and there is always room for more French Marine, Milice and/or Coureurs de bois.

I love Fort Ligonier! I stop by there every time I am in that area. I never get tired of the museum although I have seen everything in it numbers of times. |

As I said before Fitz, if you ever want to come out to a gathering at the fort (either the main one in October, or the smaller one for Labor Day weekend) just let me know, and I will hook you up.
